The whitelist file uses the folowing syntax and is located at /opt/gatekeeper/whitelist. If a line with the wildcard character '*' is present the gatekeeper operates in public mode: every call from any number opens the gate.

To deamonize the python script this library is used: http://www.clapper.org/software/python/daemon/ and not the ubuntu package python-daemon, just for kicks.

The script is started on (re)boot using the cron facility available in ubuntu. Using sudo crontab -e you can see the current configuration. For some reason the script crashes sometimes and is restarted every 30 minutes. Root cause diagnostics needed!

The beagle board runs a debian based distro so it can be used as a general purpose server. If you want to do something with it ask for a login and sudo rights. Connecting with the board is possible using ssh. Internally it has 192.168.0.250 as IP address. Externally you can connect using "ssh whitespace.endofinternet.net -p 2222"

** Something like that has been implemented: adding an empty line with * to the whitelist puts the script in public mode. In public mode everyone is allowed to open the gate when calling +32493604143. Removing the line with the wildcard puts the script in private mode, then only whitelisted members can open the gate.
